our baby

I got pregnant when I was 17. My boyfriend Jack and me both wanted a family, it ust wasnt suppposed to be so soon. When i told him he hugged me and kissed me. I wasnt expecting him to do that though. My mum and dad were fully supportive, mum was shocked but happy for me, she told me it would be hard work. My dad intiatlly wanted me to get an abortion but when he saw my beautiful baby at the ultra sound he changed his mind, my parents and jacks bought us a small but beautiful house and continued to support us. I quite school and got a job at a cute little cafe. Jack is 19 and is a aprentice. We went for our babies first ultra sound and everything was perefect. On the 1 of August I gave birth to our beautiful daughter Kahlii. She was so tiny, small for a baby born 4 weeks early,whch is very small, cant wait to take her home :)

Invisible girl

Hi! I’ve read many of your stories some so sad and others got beautiful endings. I thought I should also share my story as a sort of therapy for myself. I use to be this quiet and shy girl who kept to herself and had the biggest dreams, I was always the good girl who never went out or dated. I met my boyfriend of 3years via chatting through his cousin who was at the time my best friend, wow I thought he was perfect and was just the best, I never knew a love like that existed. I really thought he was the one, I was saving sex for marriage but I thought he was my soul mate and we would be together forever. 1 6months into our relationship I gave my virginity to him and He knew it meant everything to me. 3months after that (devil has perfect timing) I found out he was cheating and was also sleeping with that girl, everyone knew except me. I was crushed, I mean I gave him everything, he was my best friend and my all, and we planned our future together. Well like the idiot I am I forgave him and took him back, thought maybe he made a mistake and that he had gotten a wakeup call.
We carried on having sex and did the whole pull out thing. 3mnths later after nausea and missing my period, he got a pregnancy test for me, and we had a feeling I was pregnant and I took the test and two lines came out being positive, I was 19 in my first year of University pregnant and about 8weeks pregnant. Him being my everything he was the only person I had but after he found out am really preg he changed towards me and I Couldn’t believe this was the same guy, wow the next two months were hell for me, he went back to the same gal he cheated on me with and slept with her knowing am expecting a child didn’t need that stress, I ended things and they dated, He never once contacted me, he would ignore my texts. No one knew, and I had this secret on my shoulders alone. I would hardly sleep, stay up crying, not knowing what I would do. I prayed sooo much, only by Gods grace I got through those moments. I was obsessed with him tryna get his attention. How could he forget me the girl he claimed to love so much with his baby growing in me, I considered abortion and would make many appointments and I would never pitch each time. I told God if my baby daddy makes me his Girl friend again I’d keep the baby, I prayed hard for weeks for him because thought I wouldn’t be able to this without him. I named the child Grace whether it would be a boy or not cause it would be by Gods grace if we made it.
God answered my prayer and me and my baby daddy dated and decided to keep the baby, I was almost 6mnths preg at this time. He held my hand; things were so perfect between us wow. Than 3weeks after that my mom found out I was preg (she use to be a nurse) so she noticed and my tummy was expanding and checked me herself. I was so scared and she told my dad and he wasn’t talking to me and my whole family was told, thought I was dreaming, thought my family would be mean towards me but surprisingly they were supportive except my parents, They wanted to give up my baby for adoption and My boyfriend would never allow that, but he and my family stood by me and his family also found out and the two families had a meeting and his family acted like they cared and would be part of my baby, in my wildest dream. Went to my 1st doctor’s appointment and ultra sound and found out I was going to have a girl, my boyfriend was so excited and we were just the closest and he was my best friend again wouldn’t have went through all the family politics without him. 6 June 2010 I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl, with eyes wide open, I cried the first time I saw her, had a c-section because she couldn’t come out through natural birth no matter how hard I pushed. She weighed 5.6kg and her father came to see us the next day. A month later I found out my boyfriend was gonna have another baby soon and he never even told me about it, with the same girl his always cheated on me with. Till today I don’t know what happened I was crushed and couldn’t believe it, Our plans got thrown back in my face, was hoping it was a bad nightmare, My baby was suppose to be his one and only.
Things got bad again between us, he cheated again with a different girl this time and basically left me for her, I met another guy who loved me and my daughter to bits but I had to end things cause I was still in love with my baby daddy and I was not going to use him cause he deserved more. I always compared me to this girl he always cheated on me with but now I was comparing our babies. It’s something hard to heal from and get over. He hardly saw our daughter but I was always taking her to him and his family behind my parents back. His family has never once called once to ask about her or check on her or even visit although she is their 1st grandchild that’s when I decided I would stop taking her there because they know where to find her. Well today me and my baby daddy are trying to fix things between us, I just doubt he is serious about me I have a feeling he dating someone else although he wanna work out things with me, I still got trust issues and wish he would break his back for me and do whatever it takes to prove he is serious about me. At the moment I don’t get why he never makes time for her, she would know him by now and be use to him if he bothered. He can go for 4 months without seeing her, I wish it was her birthday every week maybe he would bother he is more concerned about his other daughter and now his sisters child whom He loves more. It sucks to be me, wish we could be a family. I love him in an unhealthy manner, he once told everyone I am obsessed with him and maybe he is right. Wish he would come to his senses one day and realise what he has in me. Right now my daughter is almost 14 months, She is the smartest daughter, with beautiful eyes and super naughty, I love her more than anything and would do anything for her, my family adores her so much and got unconditional love for her I guess it covers for his family not caring about her and my parents enjoy being grandparents and she’s my dads lil girl. I sometimes wish things were slightly different with a few alterations. I wanna make a success of myself and I pray to God me and my daughter have a happy ending with her father, Hopefully when he asks me to be his girlfriend it will work this time but if I have to let go I will, because me and my daughter deserve the best.

Blaine

When i was 16 i found that i was 4 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of a year. I as soon as i saw that little pink line show up on the pregnancy test i regretted having sex immeidatly. Matt and i had only had sex because he said that he had waited 10 months, and t had been long enough. And i understood were he was coming from because other guys would sleep with girls after one week of knowing them and then leave. So we had sex, and it didnt feel wrong at the time because Matt and i loved each other.

When i told Matt about my pregnancy his first reaction was "I can't do this, i can't be a dad at 17, get an abortion." and so on. But i knew as soon as i found out that i couldnt get an abortion because i wanted this baby. Matt came round eventuelly and came with me to my first doctor appointment, my mom was there too, and i found that it was early in my pregnancy, i was only 4 weeks pregnant. When i was 16 weeks pregnant i got to find out that i was having a boy. I noiced that Matt got real excitied when he found out he was going to have a son. I don't know what it is about guys and having sons but whatever it is, Matt loved it.

My mom was excited about my pregnancy and she decided to decorate the nursery for my baby. I told her the colors and she went to work. It was ready for a baby boy by the time i was 34 weeks pregnant. Matt however, started to get less excited about the birth of our son. It seemed that the bigger i got, the more he became distant. Matt and i were barley talking at that point even though we were still technaically "together". But one of my best friends told me she had seen him kissing another girl at the mall a few days before. I was so heart broken and i just didnt understand how someone could cheat on their pregnant girlfriend. Later that day after i had cried for hours, i called him and told him that he wasent alowed in mine or our son;s life and that he wouldnt be on the birth certificate. But after a few weeks, i never heard from him, and i think what hurt the most wasent that he had cheated but that he didnt care enough not to do it or at least say sorry.

On November 12th, when i was 17 i gave birth to my 5 pound 6oz son, Blaine Landon. I fell in love the second i saw him. He came early by 6 weeks so i wasent alowed to take him home for almost a week, even though i had been discharged from the hospital after two days. I took Blaine home later on and after i had him home, i noticed how different it was not to have a nurse standing behind you to telll you if you were doing something worng or right. My mom helped me for a week after Blaine was home but then she had to go back to work and i was on my own for two weeks. Matt came to the hospital after Blaine was born and then once more before he was alowed to go home but he didnt come by my house to see him until he was 4 weeks old.

Blaine is now 9 months old and he is a very heathly happy baby. He loves to "talk" and is constantly moving around. Matt has seen Blaine a total of six times, the last being when he was 5 months old. I don't understand how he could see his son and not want to be a part of his life, but it's his decision to not have a son ans right now we are better off with out him.

First loss Second gain

When i was 15, i got pregnant with a guy whom i barley knew. It all started off when i went to this 'party' with my old sister, who was 19. She was actully my half sister, but anyways, Amber (my sister) invited me to go with her to hang out with some friends. Little did i know that the majority of her "friends" were olser guys. But one guy, Max kept hitting on me the whole night. But honostly i was flattered that he kept telling me how beautiful i was. o one thing led to another and we had sex. It was mmy first time but i'm sure it was his 100th since he was a major player.

A few weeks later i told Amber that i had missed my peroid, which was just an excuse to get a pregnancy test because i've never had regular periods but i did think i was pregnant, i just didnt know how to say it. So she bought me three test and all three were positive. She then asked me who my boyfriend was,assuming that i had one, and when i told her the only guy i had sex with was Max, her friend from the party so got really mad. She told me stories about how he had kncked up other girls too.

Long story short, i got an abortion when i was about 4 weeks pregnant. Amber helped pay for it by telling our parents she needed money for another text book from school. Nobody ever knew about the abortion, besides Amber and my best friend Rylie. When i was 16, about 5 months later, i was pregnant again but this time i did have a boyfriend. His name was Ayden and we had been dating for 3 months when i found out i was pregnant. When i told him he said that he would support me and our baby, if we decided to keep it. I also told Amber who was there, along with Rylie, when i told mine and Ambers parents. At first they were mad but after a few hours of them yelling and asking me why'd i had done this they came around in supporting my decision to have the baby.

Ayden was proud to tell people at school, he'd knocked me up. I don't know if his intentions were to be cruel but that was the result. He broke up with me when i was 7 weeks pregnant with our child and he just stopped talking to me, like i had dissapered. I still dont understand why he would want to embarsse himself by telling people he was the father and then just break it off with me, but whatever the reason's they don't matter now.

When i was 16 weeks pregnant i found out i was having a girl and i soon picked out her name. Well i knew her middle name, Amber. I choose Amber because through the whole pregnancy Amber had been there for me when nobody else was. And on August 23rd i ave birth to my beautiful daughter Madeline Amber Rose. I knew right away after looking at her, that i had been right not to abort my child. The only person to date that knows about my abortion is Amber, and Rylie.
I took Madeline home when she was just 2 days old and i was so happy that she was heathly, since she had been 3 weeks early. After i brought her home i noticed how hard it was at 16 to be the best mother. But i leaarned with the help of my own mother and my Amber. I can proudly say that my friends stuck by my side and helped me plan for the arrival of my daughter, and Rylie was even in the room when i delievered Madeline.

Madeline is now 11 months old and i am going into high school as a junior this year. i know that life will only get harder as Madeline grows up but i also know that i will not be a statistic, and that i will proudly get my deplomia and i will graduate from college afterward. I know that as soon as Madeline is old enough i will teach her all i know about sex and realationshis, to unsure that she can live her life to the fullest and be able to be ready when she has her own children.

The love of my life

When i was 14 i met Tyler. He was my everything for awhile, you know after we became girlfriend and boyfriend. I had met him through my best friend (lucy), who was dating his cousin. Lucy was 14 also and her boyfriend was also 14. But Tyler was 17 which is why my mother forbid me to see him. I, like every other teenager, didnt care what she said because i was "in love". Two months into our realationship the subject of sex came up. We had talked about it before but it hadent been this serious. He told me i was going to be his first and i was happy about that because i was still a virgin too.

We had sex on our 10 weeks anivarssary. It was planned, and had been for about a week. Baseically we both got drunk at his house and had sex. He lived with his dad, but he was never home so Tyler and i started to hang out there. Tyler was a rebel and he turned me into one. Pretty soon i was no longer getting straight A's and i started spending every second of free time i had with Tyler, getiing high or drunk, having sex. I thought i was mature enough to handle myself but i of course wasent.

Two weeks before my 15th birthday, i found out i was pregnant. My mother took me to a doctor apointment, saying it had been planned for weeks already, but i knew she had made it because she supected something between Tyler and me. She was of course right, and after the nurse came back into the room with results saying i was pregnant, nobody said anything. In fact my mom acted as if nothing had changed, so i went along with it. But that lasted for about two days, and then she made me tell Tyler while she told my step-father. Tyler reacted as i thought he would. He said it wasent his, and that i was a whore for sleeping around. I knew he was going to say that because Lucy had told me about a week earlier he had been lying about being a virgin and that he made her boyfriend (his cousin) ive money to his ex for an abortion.

So after my secret was out, that i was about 12 weeks pregnant and i had no baby daddy, school got tough, so i changed to an alturnitive school for teen mothers. It was better for me. I never spoke to Tyler again after that because he didnt deserve me or his unborn child. I realized i had never been in love and nither had he. Because i knew my baby would have no father figure, i considered adoption because i didnt want my baby to go through what i did. My mother had me at 20 and she was married to my third step-father at the time. But after finding out the sex of my baby, a girl, i knew i could never do it.

I am proud to say that at 15, on Feburary 15th at 2:28 am i gave birth to my daughter Brittany Lynn, her weighing in at 6 pounds 7 ozs. I am now 16 and Brit is 6 months old, next week. I didnt plan on getting pregnant at 15, but who does really? What i did plan was me being a good mom and no you know what? That plan is right on schedule. So no Tyler was not the love of my life, he has not even once seen his daughter. But Brit is the love of my life and she always will be.
